Twitter's take on our fall release at Spiceworld

Getting a good gauge on public opinion these days is as easy as jumping into the Twittersphere. Why? Because sending a tweet is simple (one-click submit), quick (140 character limit max) and semi-anonymous (easy to avoid the subject of your tweet if, say, that subject happens to be another human and you happen to say something not so nice).

For these reasons, I kept my eyes peeled to our Twitter feed while the Pertino team launched our latest release at Spiceworld in Austin, TX a few weeks back. This release represented months of hard work for the Pertino team, and I could barely stand not knowing how it was being received. Was our hard work making a difference? Did our message resonate with our IT pros? Does anyone else think this release is as cool as I do?

Like I said, these are just my personal favorites. And, in the spirit of full disclosure, Barry and Arif are long-time Pertino fans and investors. Run your own Twitter search on “Pertino” to read more perspectives.

If you’ve got an opinion to share on our latest release, you now know how to get my attention! Build a Pertino network for free this weekend, and share your installation and deployment experience with us on Monday via Twitter. #weekendwellspent
